Southern Savings and Deals's Fan Box

Welcome to my Savings Blog!!! My name is Tara Whitaker and I created this blog in 2009 to help all of my friends find great bargains! I started couponing about 4-5 years ago and have been able to cut our family's grocery bill by about 75%, plus I'm able to get about twice the amount of products now. I started teaching classes in Feb. of 2010 and love to help others save money as well. If you're interested in a class, please contact me at southernsavings@aol.com. Thanks again and Happy Shopping!!!

Are you interested in making a little bit of extra money every month?? If so, then you should consider becoming a Thirty One Consultant!!

You're are going to LOVE Thirty One products! If you’re not a seller, there is no need to worry because these products sell themselves. I have been a consultant since August of last year and I have been more than pleased with the outcome. To be honest with you, I haven’t even hosted a home party and I’ve walked away many months with free products and a commission check as well. (Consultants make 25% commission off products). I’ve been successful just by hosting catalog parties, which not only works with my busy lifestyle but also allows me to sell an amazing product!

When you Join Thirty One as an Independent Thirty One Consultant, it is fun and extremely easy. Thirty One offers a unique opportunity to start your own home based business for a very minimal cost, just $99! When you see the possibiliteies a Thirty One Gifts Business has, and realize the success that so many other consultants have already experienced you will realize that this is one business opportunity you don’t want to pass up!!

To give you an idea of what you can earn and make see below:

This past month by commission check was over $300 and I got the following products completely free since I hosted a show by myself:

Thirty One at the current time is in a Recruitment Freeze because the business is growing sooo fast! No need to worry though, because in June they allowed the first 3,000 on the waitlist to sign up. Hopefully in July and August more will be able to join as well. To get on the waitlist to join, you can visit my website and click “Join my team”. Keep in mind that this will not be an outright commitment, you will not order your kit yet and you have plenty of time to ask questions. Selecting "Yes, I am going to sign up when I can" (vs. "Maybe, I am thinking") will guarantee you an open spot as soon as the freeze ends.

Once there are spots open, you will get an email saying that you can go ahead and sign up. You will have 2 weeks from that date to sign on as a consultant and you will place your order for your starter kit then.

A: Your enrollment kit costs $99 and you will receive more than $300 worth of products and business supplies. Everything in the kit is yours to keep!

Q: How do I make money with Thirty-One?

A: Your commission is 25% of what you sell. You also can make added revenue dependent on the number of recruits you have enrolled.

Q: Does Thirty-One have any sales requirements?

A: Once you are a qualified consultant (which means you have made $1,000 in sales), you need to sell $250 in product each quarter to remain active.

Q: Is it hard to sell $250/quarter?

A: It really isn't. An average party yields about $450 in sales.

Q: Will I have support?

A: You bet. In addition to having a full team at the Home Office, terrific online resources and a Director you can call whenever you need to talk, you will have ME.

If you have any questions about becoming a hostess please feel free to email me at any time at tlc1982@aol.com or you can call me at 205-886-8070.

I think you’re going to LOVE Thirty One and the best part about the company is not only earning products and commission, but that it is also a Christian based company. It’s a great company to work for and they give God all the glory which makes it even better!!!

Looking forward to hopefully having you on my team soon!

Thirty-One has something AWESOME for you in June! This is our Large Utility Tote, and it’s one of my favorite products that Thirty One offers. I use it for everything!

You will love this tote and it's yours for only $9 when you purchase $31 worth of Thirty One products. Also, if you order directly through me (tlc1982@aol.com) I will cover half of your shipping costs!! Don't delay!!

Cooking multiple meals at once saves time, money and energy. You’ll make fewer trips to the grocery store, with fewer impulse purchases. Power Cooking combines the time-consuming tasks of planning your meals, buying groceries, and slicing and dicing.

Couponing can significantly cut your food budget each month. Tara Whitaker, the coupon Lady, and Kristi Jackson, the Pampered Chef Lady, are teaming up to teach you how to do both.

This will be a fundraiser for Tara’s adoption process. There will be no cost to attend. Up to 20% of your Pampered Chef Order will be donated to Tara’s adoption fund. You will also have an opportunity to make an additional donation.

On July 12th @ 6:30pm, I will be teaching a coupon class at Union Hill Baptist Church in Rock Creek, Al. The class will be free, however we are taking up a $5 donation to be given to tornado victims in the Concord, Oak Grove and the Rock Creek community. If you would like to attend the class, please email southernsavings@aol.com for details, directions and to sign up for the class.
